"This book about CRS will fill an important gap in architectural history. It explores the ways architects of the mid-twentieth
century developed methods that allowed professionals to analyze projects systematically rather than relying on the traditional
combination of information and intuition. CRS played an important role in the profession's progress by pioneering "programming"
to tailor buildings more precisely to the clients' and occupants' needs."

"In Within Walking Distance, journalist and urban critic Philip Langdon looks at why and how Americans are shifting toward
a more human-scale way of building and living. He shows how people are creating, improving, and caring for walkable communities.
There is no one-size-fits-all approach. Starting conditions differ radically, as do the attitudes and interests of residents.
To draw the most important lessons, Langdon spent time in six communities that differ in size, history, wealth, diversity,
and education, yet share crucial traits: compactness, a mix of uses and activities, and human scale. [...] In these communities,
Langdon examines safe, comfortable streets; sociable sidewalks; how buildings connect to the public realm; bicycling; public
transportation; and incorporation of nature and parks into city or town life. In all these varied settings, he pays special
attention to a vital ingredient: local commitment." --Résumé de l'éditeur

"In The Private Oasis, two of New York's leading landscape architects, Edmund Hollander and Maryanne Connelly, guide readers
through a series of remarkable landscapes and gardens, explaining how to apply their techniques, no matter what the size of
the reader's property. Since founding Edmund D. Hollander Landscape Architect Design in 1990, Hollander and Connelly and the
more than a dozen landscape architects on their staff have designed hundreds of residential landscapes, from the palatial
to the somewhat more modest. Every landscape, they believe, has a story to tell. The aim of the landscape architect, when
working with the homeowners, the site, and the architecture of the house, is to decide what that story is, and see that it
is told well. You can't plant whatever you want, wherever you want it. You can't rearrange the earth arbitrarily. You have
to respond to the makeup of the land and its water flows, its vegetation, wildlife and other features using that knowledge
to fashion a living landscape. That was a key precept Hollander and Connelly learned from the pioneer of ecological planning,
Ian McHarg, and it undergirds all their thinking ..."--Publisher's description
